Property taxes will price you out of many homes if that's your full budget.

It's not. That's what I can do with 20% down and still have 50k left over for moving, improvements, and appliances. I can spend up if I have to.

Property taxes are a constant monthly/yearly expense and will continue to rise aggressively. Make sure you are accounting for the tax rate in every single town you're shopping in.

They seem to be 10-15% higher than where I live and seem to go up 4-10% a year based on the town.
